Change Happens

Aug 6

We built paradise

A place where you and I

Could be together/come whatever

In a state of ecstasy

And for quite some time

I was yours, and you were mine

We were together/come whatever

In the world of you and me

I thought we’d always be…

But life has a rule, you see

Change—happens, constantly…

Paradise became a prison/we were sentenced to life

You became a woman/who didn’t want to be my wife

Seeking justification/we watched the table red

Cheated out in the open/with others sharing our bed

Now, there’s a you, and there’s a me

Two people, pretending to be free

Living together/come whatever

In a world where nothing is real

And I long for the time

When I was yours and you were mine

When we were together/come whatever

In the world of you and me

When I thought we’d always be…

But life has a rule, you see

Change—happens, constantly…

Paradise became a prison/we were sentenced to life

You became a woman/who didn’t want to be my wife

Seeking justification/we watched the table red

Cheated out in the open/with others sharing our bed

It’s one of life’s rules

Change—happens, constantly…

It’s one of life’s rules

Change—happens, constantly…
